ART, SCIENCE, AND COOKING ages 1 1/2 through 4) A smorgasborde of the most fun projects from my repetoire. Science experiments, art projects, and cooking and baking... a whole lot of messy, interesting, hands-on experiences that your toddler or preschool will be sure to enjoy. Baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, stomp rockets, building a worm farm.... Making popovers, pesto, and pizza.... painting, playing with clay and dough, and collaging.... this class has it all!

ART CLASS ages1-3 $135 Inspired by the book Young at Art by Susan Stryker, this class is achance for toddlers to have early art experiences that are messy, fun,and tactile. We explore one color per week through painting, drawing,and salt dough sculpture, and throw in some water play, books, andsnacking to round it out. This is a low stress and truly fun environment for toddlers to meet new friends and have a weekly art adventure! Tuesdays February 2nd through March 9th, 10-12
